I've never had one in my life, but now, guess what, I have one. DH has gotten them and he said it looked like one and to to the podiatrist. He doesn't want to touch it because he said I'll kick him in the face. Considering I don't want anybody touching my feet, I'm not eager to go out and get this done.

It's swollen a little bit around where the nail is pushing/growing in. It's not bad, yet. I have very little edema, thankfully. I'm guessing that the little bit I have is contributing to the nail issue.

What will a podiatrist do to help this? What do I need to tell him or her before getting worked on, other then the obvious.
